Gefühlte Drei Meter Schnee

It snowed and snowed and snowed.. until every single snowcloud was empty I guess. Umeå got almost a meter snow now (I would guess a meter.. then again Im not really good with guessing). First I wanted to ignore it (not possible since the door is not opening in the morning because of all the snow), then I planed to hate it (because thats what I normally do with snow) but then I overcome my snow-disgust, put on some reallyreallyREALLY warm clothes (functionality before looks) and went playing. Much fun! The snow and me might become friends afterall.. not very close ones though.

Djingis, The Siberian Cat

Djingis is supposed to be a winter cat .. but the little bugger really doesnt like snow. Right now he is almost not eating or drinking anything so that he never has to go outside again, haha. Every once in a while he is getting thrown out anyway.

Hej There

Its too bad that my textile class at university is soon gonna come to an end because it really is much fun. The last few days (weeks) have been kinda stressfull at times, but the girls are always there to keep me company and we overall just have a great time togheter. Gonna miss that.

(The shirts in the background arent mine but Tinahs, but the print on it is one of my frames that she borrowed for these tees)

Wearing things that are important to me: My mams old skirt, my bfs shirt, the key to my old room home in Switzerland, double-ring found in Umea, hand-knitted socks from my aunt.

Progress!

The piece Ive been intensly working on for the last two days is starting to look like I hoped it would. Do you see the reference? Well, well .. Im gonna keep you updated about the progress of this one.

Im off now to rest my (very tired after two days of slicing) fingers. And my poor, frozen toes (we had minus 22 degrees today).
Good night world.

New Stuff On the Way

Lately I am spending an aweful lot of time at university. Don't get me wrong, I reallyreally like it - but I seriously have to learn to sit straight when sewing, because my back is starting to kill me. Or I have to search myself a physiotherapist and Im still just too young for that. The good point of spending so much time there is you get a lot done. As like my new lace-leggins, a quickie that only took me 30 minutes and that are great for layering and a new bodycon velvet dress with power sleeves. Black of course.

WorkWorkWork

So after finishing my Dream-Dress-Project I took a short break, but now Im back behind the sewing machine again. The goal this time is to finish a mini-mini-mini collection for school until the middle of January, my theme is geometry, the colors are as usual and the fun level high. This is the final project for this class and Im really gonna try to do it right.

Gonna try to keep posting pictures of the process. Right now Im experimenting with black-on-black prints and slicing the hell out of fake leather fabrics. And constructing patterns, of course. While balancing on tables.

HairHairHair

I really cut my hair, here is proof.

Oh, and I lovelovelove it! Don't know if I love that much how it looks like but I sure do love the fact that I dont strangle myself at night anymore and it only takes 15 minutes to wash/comb/dry it. Even put on a blue dress for the occasion. Wohee!

There Is A Garbage Bag On My Head

Playing around with materials I made this little head-thingy out of a garbage bag that was laying around. So its four layers of garbage bag, ironed togheter (it was smelling baaad), cut into little triangles, sewn onto an elastic band. Like the texture super much that turned out a bit different everywhere, slightly leather-ish.

Was hard to take a picture, myself, without tripod. Gonna try to take better ones some other day.
